Country Flame Bayvue DV 30 - Manual (Page 37)

GENERAL VENT INSPECTION
Inspect the venting system periodically. Additional areas to inspect are as follows:
1. Check areas of the venting system which are exposed to the elements for corrosion. These will appear as
rust spots or streaks, and in extreme cases, can be holes. These components must be replaced to ensure the
integrity of the system and the safety of the homeowner.
2. Remove the chimney cap and shine a flashlight down the vent. Remove all debris, bird nests, or other
foreign material found in the vent system.
3. Check for evidences of excessive condensate, such as water droplets forming in the inner liner, and
subsequently dripping out of vent joints. Continuous condensate can cause corrosion of caps, pipe and
fittings. Condensation may be caused by having excessive horizontal runs, too many elbows, and exterior
portions of the system being exposed to cold weather. Consult a certified professional to correct.
4. Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or fittings have been disturbed or consequently loosened.
Also check mechanical supports such as wall straps or plumbers' tape for proper integrity/support.
5. For all direct vent systems, proper re-assembly and resealing of the vent-air intake system is mandatory.
If the vent-air system is disassembled for any reason, reinstall each part per instruction provided for the
initial installation.

to the proper operation of this appliance. The pilot and burner should be checked for proper flame pattern.
Flame patterns should not appear to be suspended about the pilot tube or the burners. Nor should the pilot
or burner flame appear lifeless or smoking in its burn pattern. Have the operational burn patterns checked
by a certified professional in the event there is any question about gas burn patterns. Do not use this
